About the Item

David Bailey Catherine Bailey, 2024 Unique overpainted photograph comprising archival pigment print with hand embellished acrylic paint on paper, framed Signed by the artist in pencil, on verso Unframed: 59.7 x 41.9 cm Framed: 67.8 x 50 cm David Bailey's iconic portraits, now transformed, serve as the foundation for his new series of overpainted photographs. Paying homage to his groundbreaking portraits while reworking them through a fresh perspective suggests a profound reflection of one of the most influential photography artists of the modern age. Looking again, turning inward, and re-envisioning works of the past allows for a sense of contemplation and artistic retrospection. The overpainted photographs are bound to Bailey's practice, drawing together two prominent modes in his oeuvre: photography and painting. These overpainted photographs have evolved in periods when Bailey turned to painting after working on other major photographic series. Here, he plays upon the concept of 'painting after photography'. Bailey subsumes painting into a photographic image by literally painting after and over the image. The gestural marks on the surface are the cumulative trace of the artist's movements—each brushstroke, drip, or sweep of paint is a record of the artist's hand. The energy, delicacy, and spontaneity of brushwork convey an aesthetic impulse and element of chance in a way that transcends the pure representation of the photographic portrait into abstract materiality. An expression of gestural abstraction as an act of catharsis, perhaps from the constraints of the camera. Just as the photograph captures the decisive moment—a direct imprint of a frozen moment in reality—the painting marks an accumulation of moments, an unfolding of the artist's process. The final image is not a moment in time; rather, it embodies an entire temporal journey of its creation.

Vintage Print - Legend
By Malcolm Lubliner
Located in Surfside, FL
Malcolm Lubliner was in the right place at the right time. The artist had been working and teaching in Southern California for a number of years before he became a full-time photographer in 1968. Entrenched in Los Angeles’s burgeoning art scene, Lubliner was hired as a contract photographer for the publishing workshop Gemini G.E.L. to document its behind-the-scenes activities. He would later become the official photographer for the Art and Technology Program at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), which paired artists with technology companies in the region. Lubliner’s collection of negatives, contact sheets, and prints—newly catalogued as part of the special collections at the Getty Research Institute—showcases some of the 20th century’s most notable artists and demonstrates his insight into their artistic processes. Lubliner photographed the technical and collaborative efforts that went into producing iconic works such as Jasper Johns’s Numerals, Claes Oldenburg’s Giant Ice Bag, and Frank Stella’s Protractor series, while also creating intimate portraits of the individual artists as the driving forces behind them. He captured artists such as Roy Lichtenstein, Robert Rauschenberg, Robert Irwin, Richard Serra, John Altoon, and Sam Francis at work both at Gemini and in their own studios. Also present in many of the photographs are staff members of Gemini, including Kenneth Tyler and Stanley Grinstein. An equally important part of the collection are Lubliner’s photographs of social events that were held by Los Angeles’s prominent art collectors and dealers. Accomplished and rising artists alike mingled and celebrated with the art world’s movers and shakers, such as Leo Castelli, Betty Asher, and Maurice Tuchman, establishing partnerships that would help define their careers.
